Rondo EGC-200 SJM Case

I was doing a lot of research for a hard case for my jaguar and there was a lot of speculation about the Rondo case but not much info. Since my pockets aren't deep enough to allow me to purchase a Fender hard case I opted for the Rondo. Doesn't fit quite right but with a piece of firm foam from the ...

My bandmate has an OCD. I'll give that ole boy a whirl. I had been looking at an LPB-1, they are pretty inexpensive too which is also nice. But timholio is right, you may as well call me Jingle Jangle. However, it sounds great with my Jagmaster that sports a GFS "vintage split humbucker" i...

Thick overdrive pedal for Jaguar

I recently bought a 66 reissue jaguar. I love the way it plays but I can't really coax a nice thick but mild overdrive out of it with my Blues Driver through my Silverface Super Reverb. No matter how much I tweak the knobs it always sounds thin, or there is too much distortion for my liking. When I ...

CP and HH Jaguar necks vs CIJ

I'm in the market for a new guitar, looking more towards the jaguar. I have a jag master, Chinese 24in scale. I played an HH jag at guitar center and the amount of finish on the neck of the it made it feel like it was plastic, and cheap. It also felt cheaper to me, the neck, than the jag master neck...

Just make sure you fully read the directions. I didn't and ended up spending an hour de-soldering.

I ended up being able to catch a ride to the suburbs and I was able to score a sweet key lime green. I'll post pictures after I wet-sand it. Yeah, they banned spray paint in the city of chicago a number of years ago, so its pretty shitty for anyone who doesn't paint graffiti. I just used Krylon Prim...

Painting a pedal with model paint

Has anyone ever painted a pedal with hobby model paint as in Testors paint? The dilemma I have is that I live in Chicago where it is illegal to sell spray paint in the vicinity of the city. I used to put model cars together as a kid and I recall the painting coming out fairly well. What do you guys ...

Yeah, they are very aesthetically pleasing. They look really vintage, and I am in to that. Nondas, if you use pedals how well does it respond to them? I was planning on trying to find a local shop that carries one so I could play it. And now I am armed with your post that pretty much summed up to me...

Epiphone Blues Custom 30 opinions

Does anyone on here have any experience with this amp. It's got some fairly decent reviews on Harmony Central but I just want to know a little more as I am considering buying a used one. I did do a search and found no info here on it. Here is a link for reference. http://www.zzounds.com/item--EPIEPA...
